What the hell was 11 thinking? Not only left his guy wide open but then actually stopped going to tackle him because he got faked out thinking the NW guy would run backward ?? WTH?

NW has opened up the O rather than the predictable PSU run play calling.

Surprised that announcer didn’t have to clean out his pants after that TD. :oops:

I think it really helps having two good tailbacks but this will be interesting given the dynamics of-that dang portal. They only have a finite number of bullets to fire and sharing the workload is good for the long game. But we know the way this all works these days. You can’t put it on the ground but you have to wonder what is running through Singleton’s mind if he doesn’t get a touch in the second half.

hopefully it has to do with ball security

Watch the O line. They literally just stand up and do a slow dance with the D lineman most of the time. There’s no leg drive or push at all.

Terrible play calling after the long pass. Playing not to lose. Looking more like a second half swoon to finish off the season

Just a really bad offensive series. No passes to the back in the flat? No play action on 2nd down? Way too conservative. Playing not to lose and right into Nortwestern’s hands.

Don’t like the play call on third down. Low percentage in this weather. At least Jake came through
Was thinking the same thing. Pretty much a long fade to the back corner of the end zone.
